Last week, Fulbright Scholar Mr. Marc Will L. Villacora gave a cultural presentation to Ms. Alexa Soles' fourth grade class at Eisenhower Elementary. The Fulbright Program is run through the Indiana University of Pennsylvania and gives teachers from other countries the opportunity to learn from educators in different parts of the world.
Mr. Marc is from Lanao del Norte, Philippines, where he teaches grades four through six. His presentation to Ms. Soles’ class included basic facts about his home country, what it is like to attend elementary school in the Philippines, and many photographs of beaches, islands, foods, animals, transportation, and cultural celebrations. The Eisenhower students’ favorite part of the presentation was learning how to say “thank you” and “good day” in Mr. Marc’s language.
Thank you for sharing your culture with IASD students, Mr. Marc!
